I carved an iPhone out of a solid block of aluminum and turned it into a working custom phone. It took me over a year, from measuring every tiny part to carefully using a CNC machine to cut the complex shapes and fit all the pieces together. This is the first step toward a future where anyone can make their own unique smartphone!
